Wii is it's own console. I think PS3 is slightly better than XBOX 360. But, that's just me.
wii versus playstation3 and xbox360

I'm going to play the devil's advocate right here, if that's okay.Dark Marc said:
I cannot think of a single game prior to LBP in which you have full customization of levels and could send them over the Internet in the same manner as itself. I cannot honestly think of one. Sure, there are games with level editors. And there are games that let you share them online - Brawl immediately springs to mind. But let's face it, Brawl's level editor is terrible, and most other level editors I've seen in games are too limiting.
Also, there are, in fact, plenty of other great games for the PS3, such as Uncharted and Metal Gear Solid 4, neither of which are Halo rip-offs (hell, the MGS series alone even predates Halo - Metal Gear as a whole predates Halo by a decade and a half!). Oh, and Disgaea 3.
Now, obviously, none of these are first-party games (unless Uncharted is, too lazy to check), but you have to take the third-party games into account - they make or break a console. Ever wonder why the N64 and the Gamecube failed so hard even though they had all of those great games? Yeah, it's kind of like that.
The main problem I have with the Wii is that there is a distinct lack of third-party games for the console (the only one that I own that I really enjoyed was the remake of Klonoa: Door to Phantomile) and that a lot of the games on the console get boring after a while (coughcoughPBRcough). Of course, this is the main reason why my favorite console is the DS - there is no lack of third-party titles AND the games always have a lot of replay value.
^I don't know which DS you're talking about. Great replay value? NEVER HEARD OF IT!
Guys, all FPS games are based on Wolfenstein. Wolfenstein started the genra.
Also, define a Halo rip off? I've seen 0 games on PS3 with Master Cheif and the Covenent. I haven't even seen any of the weird-o weapons from Halo on the PS3.
I'm surprised no one brought up Ratchet and Clank for PS3. Best PS3 game on the market IMO

I own all 3 gaming systems and let me just say, I agree with z-man. The Wii can't compete with the PS3 and Xbox 360 because it doesn't want to. It's a whole other style of gaming all-together. The Xbox 360 and PS3 obviously are superior to the Wii for hardcore gamers, but to those who still are loyal to Nintendo, the Wii will be of preference to them. You aren't getting no Super Mario Galaxy on your PS3 that's for sure. The PS3 and Xbox 360 obviously have some pretty cool features (out of the two my favorite is the PS3 but that's me obviously), and the Wii brings what it can to the table. It's all a matter of preference of course. If you want graphics, pick up a PS3. Simple as that. Of course, if you really only care for graphics. The free wireless is nice and all, so that's a big plus. Xbox 360 is for those who devote most of their time to gaming, and as such the developers have to make it as accessible and good as possible. They are each unique, so it's difficult to choose the 'best' system (depending on your definition of the word 'best').
Once again, my opinion, flame if you'd like, but that's just how I see it.

basically wolfenstein pioneered EVERY FPS we know today.Dark Marc said:
ok, then what about the 360, basically every game is a cheap port from a PC game. how about that then????!?!
galefail - act, xbox 360 graphics are better than the ps3, its just the size limitation of textures on dvd. compression sux for it. =/
meh, my 500 beast can play anything atm.
so basically an rpg which is abundant on the sony platform. xDz-man said:
The Ps3 is the best out of all three. It has Uncharted 2, 10/10, Bluray, Web browser, remote play, better graphics card then xbox, FREE Wireless internet. And about Halo- Call of Duty is much better than that. It was just the best game like 4 years ago and now everyone moved on to COD.
Shuckle the Snail said:
the graphics card is NOT better than the 360's. its just all about compression and the limitation that is put on the 360.
geez...noobs
I have the Wii. It is great fun for like a month until you start to get really bored of it. As known it is more of a family console like a starter console if you will for the younger ones. No story are in the games but the controls are phenomenal. The adverts are just... sad. The prices are a rip off for games you love to play for what a week? You can get PS3 and X360 games for like £10 or up to £15 pounds more expensive which you can lay for months... hell I don't even have the 360 or PS3.
I am getting the PS3 for Christmas. Very excited for it but sadly at school everyone tells me that the 360 is better. True? Hopefully not. The free internet is amazing and the games look top quality, something that has been decently worked on. The price sadly for the console is pretty bad, yet consoles do cost a lot of money but still. It looks sexy too. I like the idea of Blueray too, don't get it though, is it a HD version of DVDs? Lots of good games are on there too and have lots to do.
And so I would have to say the X360 and the PS3, it is a bit obvious, 2 equal consoles against 1? Its a bit easy to decide. The question should be PS3 or Xbox360 or Wii.

raichu - bluray is just a format. the BRds can hold a LOT of stuff, so textures (graphics) will look really good because they can be uncompressed on the disc. this is why most ppl "think" that the ps3's graphics are "better". but in reality, they really are not.
HD isnt really HD until you get a 120+hz HDTV. then you'll start to notice TRUE HD.

Wow this is good here's what i think now...
wii: It does not have the best graphics and wi-fi, but it has a great game selection and is fun for playing with friends.
Xbox 360: It has the best online gaming and it does have good graphics (not the best) but from what I heard it has serious mental problems (breaking and the rings of fire) but it is still a good system.
Playstation 3: Has the best graphics of all the consles and it has no party games and some adventure games but it has mostly rated M and some Ts. Also the pricyest ($299.99!)
So as told I think the wii might be the one for me but when I get older the playstation 3 will be waiting for me.

this is the most ignorant statement ive ever seen
Dude, think about it. Its truth. The Nintendo Wii, while great, was super hyped. More so than Blaziken FBX, and RaichuX. Everyone was saying how B.A. it was going to be. I own one. Its pretty fun. I enjoy playing with the motion sensor controls, its a different(fun) experience than a controller. Family and Friends also enjoy it, cause you don't have to be good at it to have fun, unlike the other consoles. With interactive+fun games like Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, and various other mario titles and such(Super Mario Galaxy!!), it is very easy to pick up and play. Now. Onto the facts. Wii, while fun, has terrible graphics for the generation its trying to fight in. Slightly better than Gamecube. While the games are fun, there is NO online, games on the shop channel are overpriced, internet costs money, and the games are little kids games. Mario, Pokemon Revolution, and so on. Its a little kids system. It is commonly seen in a house with grade school kids, cause they enjoy it. A Hardcore gamer will never buy a Wii and play some hardcore games on it. Wii tried that. Remember COD3 for Wii? How bad was that game? Don't even tell me it wasn't, it was awful.
PS3 on the other hand, is not. PS3 has the same like graphics chip and system set up used in super computers.(took apart my PS3, and ran checks and stuff against info on super computers, it matches up) PS3 has BluRay DVD, which, if you have a nice TV, makes you feel like the movie is right there. Incredible graphics display, the games look real and fantastic. Also, PS3 has free online play, unlike XBOX. PS3 can play any PS1+PS2 game, and even updates its graphics as much as it can, firming out stray pixels. PS3, though 299.99, is cheap. You can pay 200 and get a Wii, or pay 100$ more and get the best gaming system out there. PS3 can hook up to PSP and load Emulators among other things, like music+vids. Wii cannot do that w/ DS. PS3 gets all of the titles(barring Halo, which, IMO, loses its shine really fast) XBOX does. PS3 sales on CODMOD2 are almost, if not equal(cant remember the #s right now) to XBOX sales. PS3 has better graphics than XBOX. PS3 offers very clear, in depth graphics, while XBOX has a very standard graphic processor, and really does nothing else with it, not pushing its limits really. PS3 rarely experiences severe system failures if you use it normally(red ring of death), and can function pretty well.
The final system, XBOX360. This thing came out 2 years before PS3, cause Microsoft was worried Sony would hurry out the PS3. Microsoft made a smart decision, because people wanted XBOX, since it was new, and Microsoft has 2 years to hit its sales. However, once PS3 hit the market, XBOX saw declines in sales. XBOX does, despite popular belief, have the best internet+live ability, although it is not free, which is a problem. People do not want to pay money to get internet for their XBOX, and their is really no way around it. XBOX does have exclusive games, like Halo, but those are not really enough to keep it on top anymore. PS3 sales past it, has better graphics, sound, plays BluRay movies, and has many more options. Wii is a kids thing. XBOX+PS3 are hardcore.
IMO:
1. PS3
2. XBOX
3. WII
There is no competition here. Sorry dude. While I enjoy Wii and own one, I also own a PS3, and find it a MUCH BETTER SYSTEM. I play PS3 more than Wii anyday.
